Vallejo cop hurt in scuffle with homeless parolee

A Vallejo police officer suffered minor injuries and a homeless man with ties to Vallejo was in custody Tuesday after pepper spray and a Taser failed to force him to comply with police, a Vallejo Police Department spokesman said Wednesday.

"We got a report of a robbery near Louisiana and Monterey at about 4:55 p.m., and an officer in the area was looking for the suspect in a robbery that had happened earlier nearby," Park said. "He spotted a man who fit the suspect's description and attempted to make contact, but the suspect fled on foot."
